A Surprised Countryman.

On board the steamer which carried
the Maine militia to Philadelphia a
young private from "down east" walk
ed down the grand stairway where a
great mirror held the reflection of the
officers at lunch in the cabin. The
guard on the stairway noticed the
young fellow cycling the mirror curl
Ously and finally was much amused to
see him turn around to him and, point
ing into the mirror, said:
81 s'pose we eat in there, ell 2"
The guard smiled and nodded and
watched the young fellow with inter
est. The latter stood two or three
inmates gazing into the mirror and
finally said, "I'm kind er lank, myself.
Guess I'll go down and bean up"
He strapped up his belt, rubbed up
his hair and walked straight up until
his nose almost rubbed against the
mirror, when he stopped like a boy
with the cramp in his stomach, and
looking around at the guard, said !:
"Gee-ru- salem Have | got 'em again!''
and he turned and disappeared up the
stairway.

at distance. Their grandeur, which
is their great attraction for the artist,
is seen then to best advantage. The
harsh strokes of the brush are not Wis
ible, and the scene is just grand it is
marvellous. Lofty mountain peaks
twice as high as Mt. Washington and
higher rise towering above great mas
sive walls of solid rock. Imagine Mt
Washington as high again and much
sleeper and then imagine that as you
look at it you are looking at the end OF
across a section of a mountain range
hundreds of miles in length and OF
uniform height and magnitude, then
turn this round and look at it. Such
are many of these mountains. AT
great intervals the summit line be-
comes suddenly lower or higher, SINH
lar ranges of lesser altitude may inter-
vene giving the appearance of great
terraces. Many mountains present the
likeness of a truncated cone as if the
top was cut square off.
But in their midst there is nothing
SO picturesque as our New England
scenery. There are no variegated for
ests, no lakes or waterfalls. Like the
large painting, it disappOints the ordi-
nary observer if he goes too close.
But as the artist approaches and stud
les with interest the coarse daubs
which make up the painting, so the
geOlOglst fin0s nuoh DO intoTost him In
these huge masses of earth and rock.
With finer touches left off there is
nothing to conceal the character and
strength of the work. Here is the
crust of the earth turned up for his
gaze as it really appears the clearly
defined strata lie uncovered by any TO-
liage whatever. 1t was an object les
son in Geology which l shall never for
get, but how l longed for a teacher.
Now | haven't mentioned the great
meas or plains of New Mexico, the
Mexican Spaniards and their adobe
houses, or mud huts, the Indian viii
lagos, the cliff builders and other
strange people of the mountains, nor
spoken of the glorious sunsets and
moonlight effects which the extreme
rarity of the atmosphere made so glO-
riOus in the mountains. This l must
keep for another time.

EDGEFIELD G. H, March 13.-The
jury empanelled in the case of the
State against R. T. Jones for the
murder of Edward Presley, Sr., at
the conclusion of Judge Norton's
able charge, at 5 o'clock on Satur-
day evening, retired to consider what
would be a just and proper verdict
to mete out to the perpetrator of
such crime. The Court waited on
the jury until II o'clock p. NJ, at
which hour the Judge had them
brought in and interrogated them as
to whether they desired any further
instruction to assist them to arrive at
an agreement, The foreman replied
that the difficulty they were expert
enclng n reaching a unanimous con-
clusion did not arise from question
OF law. Judge Norton reminded
them that three days of the Court
had been occupied in the trial. and
to 60 over the case again would in
volve a very great expense to the
county. Therefore, he would have
to ask them to retire to their room
again, and when they agreed upon |
a verdict, whether during that night, |
Sunday, Monday or at any time
during the session of the Court. he |
would be glad to receive it and dis
charge them.

eighty eighth birthday. Almost
seventy years Of his life have been
spent in the glare and conflict of
high public life. Yet his mind is
bright and active, his physical ener-

printer in Washington he wrote
letter favoring John c. Calhoun for
the presidency. Later, he sat in the
Senate with the distinguished South
Carolinian. He was adjutant gene
raj and public printer of Pennsylva-
MIA before 1880. and built the canal
from Lake Pontchartrain into New
Orleans in 1S3O-31. He projected
nearly all the lines Of the present
Pennsylvania system in the keystone
